The firm will independently develop core joints, explosion-proof technologies and AI algorithms to consolidate China's self-developed technological moat. It will also accelerate the deployment of its products in high-risk scenarios such as power systems, railways, the chemical industry and emergency rescue services. Robot dogs can take over dangerous and strenuous manual work for humans, lowering safety hazards and improving operational efficiency.

"Going forward, we will leverage Tianjin's industrial strengths to drive coordinated development of the industrial chain and upstream and downstream partners. We will build benchmark projects in the domestic market while tapping into overseas orders at the same time," he said.

"We also plan to expand our business to people's livelihood scenarios, developing home companion robots and intelligent assistants. Our robotic technologies will deliver tangible convenience to production activities and safeguard workplace safety," Li added.
